Chapter 77 Jujutsu Kaisen begins
A certain world of neon lights, Akihabara.
"..." Looking at the person in front of him who was enthusiastically browsing the comic convention, the person with squinty eyes and a bun felt a wave of exhaustion!
"Li Muyang, weren't you going to meet someone from the Spellcasting Academy? Why are you so leisurely? You'll probably be late if you rush over now!"
Li Muyang, who was reading a book, turned to Xia Youjie, who had squinty eyes, and said very seriously with a dark face, "Old Xia, I'm warning you! Never add the 'Sang' when you call me by my name! It sounds too much like a colonel! Seriously! If you're not familiar with us Chinese, never, ever call us that! You'll get beaten up!"
Xia Youjie's lips twitched, but he didn't intend to be cheeky. He nodded obediently and said, "I understand. By the way, are you really planning to be late for our first meeting?"
Li Muyang reluctantly put down the notebook in his hand. "Ahem! I was just admiring it! Don't misunderstand! We're already here! How could we not take a look? Besides, the location we were teleported to is so convenient! It's just a few steps away!"
It was already evening when Wang Yifei learned from Zuo Quan about the gap between himself and Li Muyang. Filled with grief and indignation, he resolved to catch up! He was determined to regain his dignity as the head of dormitory 609 at the next ranking competition!
And so! While the other three in the dormitory continued their diligent cultivation, Li Muyang once again slipped into the toilet and transmigrated to this world.
That is, the Cursed Retribution.
And the helper was Xia Youjie, who was right beside him.
I wonder if Lu Suo will be so surprised when he sees Xia Youjie that his jaw will drop!
Well, let me explain to some readers who are not familiar with the situation: Lu Suo is a cursed spirit similar to a brain flower. This guy can gain all the abilities and memories of other people by possessing their bodies. The body that Lu Suo is currently using is Xia Youjie, who is by Li Muyang's side.
Of course, Xia Youjie has been dead for a while now; it was his good friend Gojo Satoru who killed him!
I wonder what Gojo Satoru would think if he saw Natsume Yuuki~ Hehehe!
So, what's the current state of Xia Youjie and Lu Suo's physical bodies?
Goose explained: There were two bodies. Xia Youjie's original body was controlled by Lu Suo, so the Bureau created a new body for him that was exactly the same, including all the cursed spirits he had subdued before his death! Including those that had already been consumed and died!
All I can say is that the Administration Bureau is incredibly generous; this mission truly lives up to the reputation of a fast-paced, exciting story!
"Relax!" Li Muyang pulled Xia Youjie away from the bookstore, glancing somewhat reluctantly at the books they had just been browsing... cough cough, under Xia Youjie's "arrogant" gaze, the two arrived at a small alley.
Then, Li Muyang drew a circle in front of him, and a portal appeared.
"Don't worry, we won't be late! I've already located the spot; it'll only open at the entrance of the Spellcasting Academy, no problem!" Li Muyang said with a smile, patting the dumbfounded Xia Youjie.
Well, for this mission, the Administration provided Li Muyang with an identity: an exchange student from a mysterious Eastern country, which is basically a foreign student who came to challenge the organization!
The reason the portal is only located at the entrance to the Pyromancy High School is, of course, a matter of courtesy! Locating it further inside would be awkward if it triggered some kind of defense mechanism and caused a misunderstanding!
Of course, it's possible that they didn't even have such equipment installed inside.
Going in would be even more embarrassing.
After thinking it over, Li Muyang decided not to take the risk; it wasn't worth it! This was a matter of manners! It wouldn't be good to leave a bad impression on someone on the first meeting!
Xia Youjie gave Li Muyang a deep look. He really didn't expect that this seemingly unreliable guy would have such methods! Could it be that these unreasonable and domineering people are usually so unreliable?
To be fair, Xia Youjie's trust in Li Muyang was clearly not as high as it had been with people in the previous two worlds. He was initially wary and had opinions about who should take the lead in commanding the two of them.
Then, Li Muyang had a fairly friendly conversation with this guy. He didn't do anything, but he let Shennong Beast glance at the cursed spirits summoned by Xia Youjie. Those guys had all cowered in fear!
Boss! Are you crazy?! This guy has a mythical beast on him! What are we thinking?! Fight him?!
As a divine beast, Shennong has an absolute restraining effect on these cursed spirits composed of cursed power, in other words, special creatures formed from negative emotional energy!
For a cursed spirit that hasn't reached the highest level, the light emitted by the Shennong Beast alone would probably be enough to purify it on the spot!
Even a top-tier beast wouldn't withstand many blows without mastering its domain! Even if it did, it wouldn't be a match for the Shennong Beast! A few more wouldn't matter!
Even if they couldn't recognize it as a divine beast, the cursed spirits wouldn't dare to attack! Do you understand, Kamui?
The cool factor of mythical beasts!
As for Li Muyang's concern about not being able to see the cursed spirits, that was completely unfounded. As for whether his methods could harm the cursed spirits, that was just needless worry. He didn't even need to attach spiritual energy; he could easily deal with them!
Therefore, Xia Youjie was completely defeated by Li Muyang!
Although his physical skills were quite good, Li Muyang's kung fu was simply superior!
After being educated, Lao Xia became much more obedient! He no longer had any intention of ordering Li Muyang to act, and his attitude towards Li Muyang changed from vigilance to respect.
Knowing Li Muyang's purpose, even if Xia Youjie were a madman, he wouldn't push such a powerful figure to the opposite side! Otherwise, if Li Muyang were to risk mission failure to cause trouble, then Japan would truly be in dire straits! Everything else is negotiable, Xia Youjie might not care, but his good friend definitely wouldn't let it go!
While Xia Youjie was pondering why powerful people were unreliable, Li Muyang had already passed halfway through the teleportation portal and asked Old Xia, "Hey, Old Xia, are you going to see them now? Or should you wait in the shadows and make your move?"
Xia Youjie's lips twitched, feeling a bit weary. He waved his hand and said, "Muyang, you go first. I'd better not show myself for now. After all, my identity is quite troublesome."
Yes, Xia Youjie's identity is indeed quite troublesome, because he was almost completely corrupted before he died back then, and even now, he doesn't think he did anything wrong! He just won't do it again now!
Because reality told him that the plan wouldn't work!
That is to say, he is already dead, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle. However, Xia Youjie's identity has been sentenced to death by the higher-ups in the sorcerer world. It is not appropriate for a death row inmate to appear in front of the sorcery college.
Li Muyang thought for a moment, then stepped through the portal and came back. He picked up the Shennong Ruler and pointed it at Xia Youjie, emitting a burst of light that left Xia Youjie stunned. Suddenly, he felt that the pressure and side effects on his body from absorbing too many cursed spirits had disappeared!
"Alright, don't go to extremes. Let me know if anything happens. Also..." Li Muyang instructed while taking out a small piece of paper and explaining, "This is where Nanako and Mimiko's current addresses are. I guess you'll need it, right? Here, take the paper. If you can't find them, that's your problem. I won't restrict your movements, as long as it doesn't affect the ultimate goal."
After receiving the note from Li Muyang, Xia Youjie fell silent. Cai Cai Zi and Mei Mei Zi were his two adopted daughters. A group of ignorant villagers wronged and harmed the two innocent little girls with cursed powers. At the same time, this incident was also the reason why Xia Youjie completely turned to the dark side.
After a moment of silence, Xia Youjie raised his head, smiled and squinted at Li Muyang, and asked, "So, Muyang, do you have any other instructions for me?"
Li Muyang was about to say "just don't send it," but then he suddenly remembered something, swallowed the words he was about to say, and said, "If you really want to talk about it, there really is! I think the mission system has already told you about the upcoming tasks and plot!"
Xia Youjie nodded, "That's right."
"So, sometimes it might be inconvenient for me to intervene. If possible, I hope you can save as many people as possible who deserve it! Thank you for your hard work!"
"No problem, it's my duty!" Xia Youjie still had that squinty-eyed smile, but suddenly said inexplicably, "Mr. Mu Yang is quite a gentle person~"
"Huh? Why are you praising me all of a sudden?" Li Muyang asked, a little disgusted and confused. "Why are you being so sentimental, you grown man? Isn't that cheesy?"
Xia Youjie smiled and said, "It's nothing. I wish you all the best and great success in your military endeavors!"
"Thank you for your kind words!" Li Muyang waved his hand and stepped into the teleportation portal.
In fact, both of them understood each other's meaning. The reason why Li Muyang suddenly remembered to tell Xia Youjie about this matter was not that Xia Youjie really had to do it. Rather, Li Muyang suddenly realized that part of the reason why Xia Youjie turned to the dark side was because he had a conflict with his strongest teammate, Gojo Satoru.
Simply put, after Gojo Satoru achieved enlightenment, his strength became too great, and he no longer needed teammates! His teammates became a burden! Xia Youjie felt that he had lost his role in the team, so he began to look for other ways to "save the world"!
Xia Youjie naturally saw through Li Muyang's attitude. He knew that Li Muyang was very strong, perhaps even stronger than Gotiao Wu! He also realized that Li Muyang hadn't initially intended to give him any instructions, but then suddenly thought of something and left those words behind.
Given Li Muyang's deep understanding of their past, Xia Youjie guessed that Li Muyang didn't want him to feel useless in his presence, become self-destructive, and turn evil again!
After all, Li Muyang had just helped him purify the curse spirit's influence on his mind!
Since this teammate still needed his help, Xia Youjie seemed to recall the past, and a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart. He never expected that the person who could understand them was an outsider from another world!
Fine, since that's the case, I can't let my teammates down!
Although Li Muyang and he had just been reading in the bookstore, they had also talked a lot. Xia Youjie's understanding of future developments was definitely not as good as Li Muyang's, so he knew that there were some things he should ask about!
A sensible teammate +1.
